Webb, Public Works Director 949 - 644 -3311, dawebb @newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Michel J. Sinacori P.E., Assistant City Engineer 949 - 644 -3342, msinacori @newportbeachca.gov APPROVED: V TITLE: Approval of Amendment No. 1 to On -Call Professional Services Agreement with Coast Surveying, Inc. ABSTRACT: The maximum contract amount for on -call surveying services provided by Coast Surveying, Inc. (Coast), under the existing Professional Services Agreement has almost been reached. If approved, the contract expenditure limit would be increased to allow for additional on -call surveying services. RECOMMENDATION: Approve Amendment No. 1 to the January 18, 2012, On -Call Professional Services Agreement with Coast to increase the contract limit to $250,000 for continuing on -call surveying services and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the amendment. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: Funding for the on -call surveying services will be provided from individual capital improvement project budgets at the time of project implementation. DISCUSSION: In order to reduce the amount of staff time and continue to deliver the large number of capital improvement projects in a timely manner, the Public Works Department utilizes on- call consultants for various professional services such as Surveying, Geotechnical, Civil and Traffic Engineering and Landscape Architecture. These multi -year contracts are established through a competitive selection process to identify the most qualified firms to provide the needed professional services. With respect to surveying services, the City Approval of Amendment No. 1 to On -Call Professional Service Agreement with Coast Surveying, Inc. February 12, 2013 Page 2_ entered into an On -Call Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Coast in January 2012 for a contract limit of $120,000. The majority of CIP projects require some level of surveying services. Necessary surveying services are generally included within the design services that are contracted out to consultants. However, the City no longer maintains its own survey crews and relies on this on -call contract to provide surveying services for necessary control points and vertical elevations to prepare construction drawings, verify or set necessary field monumentation as well as provide construction staking. For example, the recently awarded Central Balboa Street and Alley Restoration project associated with Assessment District 100 (Central Balboa) required approximately $50,000 in surveying services. Other recent projects that required mapping and control survey information from Coast include Bay Avenue pavement replacement, and Santa Ana Heights street rehabilitation (UUD -19) to support city staff design efforts. Due to the high volume of CIP projects requiring survey services over the past year, the contract with Coast has reached the allowable limit of $120,000. Under the proposed amendment, the maximum contract amount would be increased to $250,000 for the remaining life of the contract. The current fee schedule and termination date of December 31, 2013, will remain unchanged. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Environmental clearances will be completed for each Capital Improvement Project. NOTICING: The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).
